St. Columba's Church of Scotland, Jersey.

Welcome to the "blog" of St. Columba's Church of Scotland in Jersey, Channel Islands. We are the most southerly C of S in the British Isles and the only Presbyterian church in Jersey. We have 140 communicant members with an average Sunday attendance of about 70. This is augmented in summer by visitors, mainly from Scotland and Northern Ireland. You are very welcome to come and share a time of worship with us.

May I post a message of warm thanks for the kind welcome we received on the Presbyterial visit last week-end. For each of us it was our first visit to Jersey and we shall retain the happiest of memories of the Island and of the good folk of the Kirk. Scripture enjoins us to practise hospitality thereby "ye may entertain strangers unawares". You certainly practised hospitality in a most gracious and loving way though, with all due respect to my colleagues, I cannot in truth say that you entertained angels ! But thank you one and all and greetings from St. Columba's Pont Street and from Robin Forrest
